Detroit,  November         1843. 

!3l  Combineb  eflbrt  is  now  making  along  the  Southern  District  of  Upper  Canada,  at 
BuiTdlo  and  Eastward  towards  Boston,  at  Boston  and  at  t!iis  place,  to  effect  tho  construction  of  the  "Niagara  &.  Dr.TRorr  Rivkrs 
Railhoai.,""  from  opposite  Buffalo  to  opposite  Detroit;  so  as  to  unite  'he  Central  Railroad  running  West  from  De'ioit,  with  Ih.i 
Boston  Railroad  running  East  from  Buffalo,  by  the  shortest  line. 

Committees  and  Agents  are  now  cngagedat  the  points  above  referred  to,  in  obtaining  subscriptions  to  the  stock.  In  furtlicrance 
of  this  object,  and  co-operating  with  others,  the  undersigned  Committee  of  Detroit  request  you  to  act  as  a  Coinniittcc  for  the  same 
purpose,  at  the  place  and  in  the  neighborhood  where  you  reside. 

They  refer  you  for  more  particular  information  on  the  subject,  to  the  inclo.-ed  Prospectus,  Report,  and  Subscription  List. 
The  limited  number  of  printed  Char'crs  of  the  Niagara  fa.  Detroit  Rivers  Railroad  within  reach  of  the  Committee,  puts  it  out  of 
their  power  at  tins  moment  to  send  one  to  you;  but  its  principal  features  are  these:     That  it  is  perpetual;  That  the  Directors 
regulate  the,.-  own  tolls;    I'hat  tliere  are  no  disabilities  as  regardj  foreigners  liciJing  thu  s.eck  or  managing  the  Road. 

It  w.ll  bo  seen  by  reference  to  the  heading  of  tiie  subscription  list,  that  unless  the  Charter  is  extended,  which  is  confidently 
expected  to  be  done  at  the  ensuing  session  of  the  Provincial  Parliament,  the  subscriptions  will  not  be  required.  The  shares  being 
(sS.25  each,  and  payf.blo  through  a  long  interval,  it  is  designed  to  make  the  stock  taken  in  Canada  and  the  t'nited  States  a  popular 
stock,  in  the  sense  and  wiih  the  intention  rather  to  interest  the  greatest  number  of  persons,  than  to  have  the  stock  absorbed  by  a 
few.  A  nart  <.'i  the  stock  is  reserved,  to  include  besides  all  untaken  in  this  country,  to  be  placed  on  the  London  Stock  Exchange; 
where,  as.-uiiimg  a  known  value,  the  stock  certificates  in  this  country  may  at  any  time  be  converted  into  money  at  any  Banking 
House  or  Exchange  Office. 

It  IS  believed  by  all  who  have  interested  themselves  in,  or  paid  any  attention  to  this  project,  that  it  will  produce  these  results: 
1st.  That  it  will  pay  better  than  any  Railroad  Stock  in  America. 
2c'.  That  it  can  never  be  interfered  with  by  any  competition. 

ad.  That  by  its  short  and  straight  line,  its  low  grade,  and  its  consequent  adppt  Uion  to  the  greatest  celerity  of  motion,  it  will 
cause  a  connexion  with  itself  of  the  New  York  k  Erie  Road  by  a  branch  from  Horn  lls-.ille  to  Buffalo. 

4th.  That  it  will  eithe'  :ause  a  connexion  with  itself,  of  the  Groat  Western  Railroad  of  Canada;  or  cause  that  road,  the  stock 
of  which  is  taken  up,  to  take  the  ground  proposed  to  be  occupied  by  this. 

."ith.  That  it  will  press  the  Central  road  of  Michigan  to  completion  with  a  T.  rail. 

r.th.  That  these  results  will  reduce  the  freight  tolls  on  the  Central  road  more  than  one-half;  and  by  putting  Western  men  at 
all  times  within  reach  of  the  great  Eastern  markets,  both  for  sale  and  supply,  enable  them  to  conduct  their  business  with  a  greatly 

diminished  ca[>ital. 

We  have  the  honor  to  be,  very  respect ''illy,  your  obedient  servants,
